About this map

Rogue River National Forest defines the southern reach of this terrain along the border of Josephine and Jackson Counties. The landscape is a dense network of gulches and ridges, where Tallowbox Mtn and Jim Mee Peak stand as prominent landmarks. This 2020 survey illustrates a complex watershed where Thompson Creek and its many tributaries, such as Ferris Gulch, drain toward the Applegate River in the northeast.

Resource management and access are evident through a specialized road system, including Tallowbox L O Rd and Star Gulch Rd. Distinctive local features like Kinworthy Reservoir and the uniquely named Nineteenhundred Sixteen Gulch and Nineteenhundred Seventeen Gulch indicate a history of specific land use or local naming traditions. Small-scale water features like Brown Res and various springs in Maple Springs Gulch further detail the high-elevation hydrology of this part of the Siskiyou Mountains.
